PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MARCH 19, 1982
PA.GE 9
Mr. Tkach does not "own" the ministry and run it his own way apart from
the one Christ put over him. But he does relieve my time by taking a moun
tain of work and reports and conversation with you ministers off my hands,
freeing me to write, broadcast, preach around the warld, make all major
decisions, and, UNDER Christ, direct the WHOLE WORK as the living Jesus
Christ directs and uses me as His INSTRUMENT. And as GOD THE FATHER directs
Him!
I have direct access to God the Father. So do YOU!
You have direct
access to me, at any time--BUT I do thank you fellows and wives that you
UNDERSTAND that Mr. Tkach is relieving my time, and that you bring things to
me personally when really necessary.
LET ME SAY WITH EMPHASIS THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE ABOUT 1968 WE
ARE VIRTUALLY BACK ON TRACK, AND ALL IS PEACE AND HARMONY AND A SPIRIT-LED
TEAM WORK AND COOPERATION HERE AT HEADQUARTERS!

WHILE SATAN ACCUSES, GOD SPEEDS
